Hi -

how would I define marked2 (licensed) as default "quicklook" app to be used for previewing *.md files on MacOS Sequoia?

To be clear: In finder I'd like to press space and see the preview, in contrast to opening the file.

Many thanks,
Peter

    Sorry, Marked doesn't offer a Quick Look plugin. Too much text handling
    happens inside the app to make a "lightweight" version available to
    Quick Look. I recommend checking out the [Peek plugin][] on the App
    Store, or installing something like the [MultiMarkdown Quick Look
    plugin][mmd quick look], which I've altered a bit (and can't guarantee
    still works, its been a while).

    [Peek plugin]:

    Thanks for the immediate reply, get the point.

    I ran into https://github.com/sindresorhus/quick-look-plugins - a quick brew install qlmarkdown seems to do the job decently.
